Hey everyone! I got busy with family for the past few weeks that
needed my attention but I am back to blogging now. I am so glad to resume to what I love because
I missed you all. But I have to say I not going to be consistent with my
blogging for the next one month because of my family commitments that needs my
attention… Meanwhile I am here with another beautiful home tour. This home is
from one of my favorite travel destination, Netherlands.

Saritha Ashok has converted her home into a cozy retreat and
strives on minimalism, because of her constrain in space. She focuses on living
a clutter-free life and as a result making her space peaceful home airy and
surrounds herself with soulful elements like flowers, candles and books. I love
how she puts together different elements to create beautiful vignettes.

Let’s hear more from
Saritha herself on her inspiration for her décor style and enjoy her home tour!

“I am Saritha
Ashok and I am from Kerala in India. I live in a small town in Netherlands
called Leiden, with my husband and 12 year old son.

When we moved
here, on the decor front I decided I will keep it all bright and clutter free
and minimalistic. I do slip at times, but I think I have managed to stick to it
mostly. I can’t say that my decor style belongs to a specific category. I think
it’s a mix of country cottage/farmhouse with hints of boho and Indian
traditional. I love to decorate with earthy and handmade accents. Most of our
furniture in this home was bought from used furniture groups online and
most of the decor accents are flea market finds. I also carried a few of my
favorite pieces from India. So you can call it a “thrifted home” :)

My favorite piece
of furniture in the house currently is the blue sideboard. It is an old piece
that I painted and it looks stunning now, if I may say so. My favorite space in
the house has to be the living area. I spend a lot of time on the couch
enjoying the view of the canal outside! Also, we mostly have our meals here (not
on the dining table, I confess).

My decor tip
would be to keep it simple and minimal. You can add pops of colour using
flowers, candles or even books! Plants can also add a lot of character to any
space. And do not hesitate to experiment, because I think that is how you
develop your own style. “

Thank you Saritha for opening up your cozy retreat to us.
